I started full liquids today. I strained progresso cream of bacon and potato and it was the best thing I ever tasted. So good. After a week of drinking in Water it was such a welcome treat

that's great. Im down 10. I guess that's what happens when you don't eat anything for 9 days...lol I haven't gotten much protein in since I'm just drinking clear liquids. My nutritionist did say the 1st week but be a wash for protein since there isn't much in clear liquids. I mentioned the injury chicken Soup flavor which has protein but I decided I am sick of all things chicken broth but I forced it down this morning because it's filling. Last night was the first time I felt semi sort of hungry so I went to bed early. I got up this morning and drank my nasty protein chicken broth. lol My gas pains are few and far between now. That mostly happened in the first few days but hasn't been much of a problem since. Starting monday is full liquids and I'm so excited. I thought I would never say I would be excited for another Protein shake but I am. lol

I keep reading everyone having so much problem with drinking Water. I had surgery on monday and I really haven't had any problems getting in water at all except the 1st day. The 2nd day of surgery I could barely take a sip without getting nauseous. I've been drinking a lot of propel zero water and crystal light and getting my 60 oz a day with no prob. I don't get Protein shakes til next week. That will be a welcome change

So I am on my clear liquid week and I am sick of chicken broth. Does Miso Soup count as a clear liquid? hope so

lol...well that's what I call it. Its the stomach band they put on you after surgery so when you move around your stomach doesn't jiggle and cause you pain. just curious to see how long you kept it on. I had surgery on monday and I've still been wearing mine on and off. I went for my first car ride today and walk around the grocery store with my mom and I'm glad I had it on.

my dietician said not to worry to much about Protein the 1st week. Not much protein in Jello and Water. I did get this chicken broth by

I had my surgery on monday and it went well. I spend all day tethered to a iv poll and a catheter. The next day no catheter but still the dreaded IV poll. I had the option to go home tuesday night but my mom doesn't see well to drive at night so they gave me the option to stay til wednesday morning. Now it thursday and I'm trying to get my 60 oz of liquid a day in that is required by my surgeon. Pretty much Water, broth, and Jello. I was just a little curious so I stepped on the scale this morning and not much change. I think I went home heavier than I started due to all the fluids they pumped in me at the hospital plus I started my period this week which was a real drag. I usually gain a few pounds of water weight during that time. My feet were puffed up pretty good due to all the extra Fluid but that is starting to subside now. My follow up is tuesday so I will see how that goes. I'm thinking I may stay off the scale til then. anyways I would like to hear how everyone else's first week went. Also how much did you lose that first week. I'm 5ft 1 and 266 pounds. well I was the day of surgery now my scale says 267....damn water weight

so my surgery is monday and I have a question about strained cream Soup. my pre op liquid diet called for camp bells 98% fat free cream soup. These Soups are good to cook with but just to eat them is really gross. My week of full liquids after surgery calls from strained creamed soups. ugh gross. all the low fat cream of whatevers are not good. I have discovered the Progresso light cream of bacon and potato which is awesome. There are also a couple of other ones made by progresso that are creamy that are pretty tasty. So do you think if I strain all the big chunks out of the progresso soups that will be ok?

better than bullion is pretty good

I don't know why that picture shows up. It's not me. I have to figure out how to get it off

My surgery is monday and I have been trying to get ideas for things I can puree. I cam across this product called Hormel Thick & Easy pureed meats. Anyone every heard of it? here is a link eggs?

My surgery is next week and I just wondering about something. My dietician said to stay away from sticky rice as in sushi. Does that mean forever? I think that sushi is the best thing on the planet so I would be sad to see it go. I understand if it would be awhile before my stomach could handle the rice but I'm hoping down the road a few pieces would be ok. There is always sashimi which will be fine I assume. Anybody have experience with sushi?

My surgery isn' til nov 18 and I have to do a 2 week liquid diet before that. I have my sleeve class on oct 31 which will I guess explain what alll that entails. At this point I'm just confused. It seems like just consuming liquids I'm going to be hungry all the time. I don't get it. I mean I understand the concept of protein shakes and how they are supposed to be filling. I'm drinking them now as snacks during the day because I have to lose 15 pounds before surgery. I just don't see how only drinking liquids only with no food is going to be filling at all. Seems like its going to be a miserable experience. Can I blend up fruit in them? Can I put coffee in them and make a frappe?

My surgery is scheduled for November 18th.
